Declassified is the title of a forthcoming collection of four novellas set in the Star Trek: Vanguard series. Due for release in June 2011, the collection will feature individual contributions from Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore, David Mack, and Marco Palmieri - who will be making his Star Trek author debut with this release, having been a co-creator of Vanguard with Mack.

The stories that will feature in the collection are:

• "Almost Tomorrow", by Ward, set before Harbinger and the Star Trek: Corps of Engineers novella "Distant Early Warning".
• "Hard News", by Dilmore, set after Reap the Whirlwind.
• "The Ruins of Noble Men", by Palmieri, set Precipice, with flashbacks.
• "The Stars Look Down", by Mack, set after Precipice.

The collection was announced by Ward on 14 April 2010. [1]

The solicitation blurb for the release, first made available in November 2010, was taken from an early sales document, and included story concepts that ultimately did not form part of the novellas to be released.

Summary

Solicitation blurb

Secret operations, sealed orders, high-risk military special operations... such dangerous missions have been at the core of the Star Trek: Vanguard series since its inception. Four great Alpha Quadrant superpowers – the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Tholian Assembly, and the Romulan Star Empire – have all taken tremendous risks in their race to learn and control the ancient technologies of the ancient interstellar hegemons known as the Shedai. Now get ready for four new adventures in the Taurus Reach with the starship crews, undercover agents, civilian colonists, and alien power players of the Vanguard saga.
